Actually, no.  This is the wrong thing to do.

Adding i_generation to log items is something that we should apply
systematically to all the log items that target files -- BUIs, ATTRIs,
and XMIs.  I don't know why I indulged this, but I looked into how to
squeeze in i_generation: I can't do BUIs without revving the
xfs_map_extents ondisk format to include a new u32 field.  I can't do
ATTRIs without expanding the size of those by u32 because there's no
space left after parent pointers used up the padding field.

Dave, I've spent years working on this code.  I've gotten it to work.
I'm not interested in yet another refactoring of this now old code, and
I'm tired of not being able to merge patches just because you had some
random idea "let's expand the scope to fix these other code smells too!"
I want to move on with merging my dev branch, because there are 200 more
patches to go to finish online repair.

Andrey wants to get fsverity moving, and I can't help him do that
because I'm stuck on this.  Christoph wants to use some of realtime
modernization patches, and I can't help him do that because I'm stuck on
this.  John wants to get forcealign and untorn writes moving and I
can't help him do that because I'm stuck on this.  Catherine wants to
learn more about the codebase and I can't help her do that because I'm
stuck on this.

As I keep saying, I want to get online repair to the point where I can
send it out for wider testing with real users to find out how it really
works.  The customers who want the feature also want this, but I can't
help them do that because I'm stuck on review.

Do you get the picture?  Many projects are stalled on ME, and I don't
like that.  I don't get the sense that everyone else is enjoying this
stat of affairs either.

I'm very worn down by this XFS mentality of "we have to clean up all
the smells as a gatekeeping condition of merging someone else's work".
No, we don't have to do that.  I don't want to have to think about how
to engineer some unrelated ondisk format cleanup into a giant pile of
code and make /that/ work seamlessly too.

That is not a reasonable thing to ask for, and I'm not going to do it.
